Morphology of a thought. Learning, unlearning and relearning

Abstract

Service-learning is a methodology that invites the student to interweave theory and practice in a harmonic and holistic way. By putting this type of learning into practice, the risks due to the rejection and the uncertainty faced by students are exposed, as are the benefits of strengthening their competences and skills, which are so relevant to their professional future. The objective of this study is to show the development of practice in the application of theory with the aim of offering a service to a vulnerable community. The project was carried out with students from the Urban Sociology degree. This qualitative study seeks to open a space for reflection, through a descriptive analysis, after considering the successes and failures as an opportunity to redesign a course in the Service and produce methodological adaptations. This was done with the purpose of making students face reality in a solidary manner and improving their abilities as responsible, committed and proactive citizens. This study also reveals the importance of Research Training as a vital component for the development of competences in the future professional.
